I have seen nothing explaining how the significant security presence around the zone took no action, when they are paid to.

<!-- bmi_SafeAddOnload(bmi_load,"bmi_orig_img");//--> The media has a very negative perception of the Phoenix and YF - come on, this is a ludicrous statement with no basis.
Also, as for trying to blame stadium or security, you're surely having a laugh. Are the fans who threw the bottles not responsible for their own actions?? Of course they are. Stop being so precious.

As far as trying to blame security? Who's blaming them for what happened? I'm certainly not. What I have some concerns about is the apparent inaction once these events were happening/had happened. It is also a concern that no-one saw fit to help the security staff by pointing out the muppets concerned so they could have been kicked out on their arses.
I wasn't at the game so I'm obviously basing these assumptions on what I've read. If you read any of the posts I've made in the various threads on the weekend's incidents, you will see that I am very much expecting the "fans" who threw the bottles to be responsible and accountable for their actions, but I would also expect security staff to actually do what they are paid for.

We had 1000 people watching the pitch and A bottle came from behind (most of us). Meanwhile there were how many security people looking towards where it occured ?
I'm pretty happy with the level of response asked of Yellow Fever in general, but I can see why others might question why the same level of scrutiny that has been applied at other sports isn't being applied here.

This, of course, received about a paragraph worth of newspaper space

That being said, I suppose they didn't have room to mention it after the collective media orgasm of the AB's winning...
I see this team as more of a New Zealand team than any of the others every were. The reason for that might be a performance issue and an anti Auckland thing.
So i am happy with the coverage but more would be even better.
Allegedly
I more than agree with that. Some of his remarks were both unncessary and unreasonable.
Yeah was good having YF reps defend us actually.
O really, what did he say in this outburst?
Allegedly
if he is responding to the growing football voice in NZ then I'm stoked!!
NiX and YF - keep it up lads - football loud and proud!!
Today, and last night, the phoenix has gotten the most lengthy story covering them they ever have.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
Compare that with the other bollocks piece by Maddaford in the Herald where he basically says:
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Have a "butchers" at the league table symbols for each team in this article from Sydney's "Terrorgraph".
Tee hee.

Despite the Phoenix's generally disappointing results, i have really enjoyed the season so far. I'm a TV watcher, and have found almost without fail the matches to be a great spectacle.
God help us all then.
